<h1>AddFont</h1>
<code>AddFont(<b>string</b> family [, <b>string</b> style [, <b>string</b> file [, <b>string</b> dir]]])</code>
<h2>Description</h2>
Imports a TrueType, OpenType or Type1 font and makes it available. It is necessary to generate a font
definition file first with the MakeFont utility.
<br>
<br>
The definition file (and the font file itself in case of embedding) must be present in:
<ul>
<li>The directory indicated by the 4th parameter (if that parameter is set)</li>
<li>The directory indicated by the <code>FPDF_FONTPATH</code> constant (if that constant is defined)</li>
<li>The <code>font</code> directory located in the same directory as <code>fpdf.php</code></li>
</ul>
If the file is not found, the error "Could not include font definition file" is raised.
<h2>Parameters</h2>
<dl class="param">
<dt><code>family</code></dt>
<dd>
Font family. The name can be chosen arbitrarily. If it is a standard family name, it will
override the corresponding font.
</dd>
<dt><code>style</code></dt>
<dd>
Font style. Possible values are (case insensitive):
<ul>
<li>empty string: regular</li>
<li><code>B</code>: bold</li>
<li><code>I</code>: italic</li>
<li><code>BI</code> or <code>IB</code>: bold italic</li>
</ul>
The default value is regular.
</dd>
<dt><code>file</code></dt>
<dd>
The name of the font definition file.
<br>
By default, it is built from the family and style, in lower case with no space.
</dd>
<dt><code>dir</code></dt>
<dd>
The directory where to load the definition file.
<br>
If not specified, the default directory will be used.
</dd>
</dl>
<h2>Example</h2>
<div class="doc-source">
<pre><code>$pdf-&gt;AddFont('Comic', 'I');</code></pre>
</div>
is equivalent to:
<div class="doc-source">
<pre><code>$pdf-&gt;AddFont('Comic', 'I', 'comici.php');</code></pre>
</div>
